PG, thanks for the offer, but mine is long gone. Heck probably before I finished HS. It is an interesting little vise (Exact same concept as the big ones HF and other importers sell sans the rubber base, which never worked well...) but building slot cars and bending stuff was beyond its abilities...

One YS stop planned; one thing from it. a pair of SO fender protectors.
And a Freecycle Stop, for a Dazor Drafting table lamp, (at least that's what I always used them for) I replaced the cord as it was a section of orange extension cord, and it was hanging from the wire nuts...

Today I headed back to the sale from yesterday to see what else I could find. I expected to get some deals on larger items but my truck would not start so I took the car while the battery was recharging (charger purchased a few weeks ago at a sale). That almost guaranteed that I would need to go back later to pick stuff up.
I actually tried to avoid large items but couldn't resist this cabinet for $10
Plus I picked up a lot more for an additional $20 including two 1950s NJ plated not shown because someone grabbed them out of my container before I paid. There were only a few people there but the thief must have paid and left before I checked out.
Here is what was in cabinet.
I have no need for shotgun shells. Any GJ member in NJ that wants them is welcome to them.
Containers of MEK and DuPont rifle powder are empty.
Coleman catalytic heater
'68 Chevy truck brochure
6 new 5 gal lids that have sealing twist off top
Owner paid $1526 for it new!
Plus lots of other hardware and tools that I will eventually use
2 new packs of PC-7
2 new drill sets
Carbide lantern funny thing is a while ago I found a can of fuel pellets. Can fuel still be purchased?

They seem to hold so as not to fly open during use. Kinda neat.
Cool stuff. Yes, search for calcium carbide. It is still sold for the old toy cannons and lanterns

Don't think that is a 68 truck brochure, more like 65-66.

When the next major hurricane wipe out the power grid in the North East, MattBlast will probably be the only person wandering around with a Carbide Lamp. Very cool!
I stopped and made a curb side pickup yesterday. I picked up a Coleman 4 Gallon compressor. I figured it was junk but grabbed it anyway. The piston "rings" are shot so no compression. I stripped off the fittings and stuff and put the tank at the curb in front of my place. Is there any use for a 4 gallon tank - it seems fine?
Since I'm currently without a compressor I took a chance stopping. I got a handfull of hardware out of the deal.
Cheers

Nice Freecycle score on the lamp, Outlaw. I've gotten 3 of them free from the town transfer station over the last year or so. Really dig them.

What can you guys tell me about the box? The tray was a bit beat up, I massaged it back into shape somewhat. I'll deal with the rust issue later. One of the latches doesn't spring back anymore. Can that be fixed, or are replacements available?
Along with the box I picked up some other US made tools. The pliers are from Heath Kit, I thought that was cool. Pressure gauge goes to 60 psi, might come in handy in the future. The tiny set of sockets are driven by the hex wrench, marked size and made in USA, but no manufacturer.
The last picture is what I think is a nail set, is that right? The inner part is spring loaded, it's retracted in picture three. Anyone know anything about it?

That toolbox has the heritage logo on it, around the 50's and maybe part of the 60's I think.
O heck yea, any day of the week. Auto strippers and deep clamps.
CongratsI'd say it is more late 40's to very early 50's. After that they dropped the wrinkle grey/blue and went to the more known hammered silver-ish. Cool box. Can you take a pic of the top handle? Is it rough cast?

Check out the GJ Repurposing thread for the use of an old compressor tank to make a great little wood burning upright heater.

Lehmans sells it but it's a bit expensive. I hope you are planning on opening a mine because 10 lbs of the duff will last you quite a while

Ok hit one yard sale and the flea market Saturday. Three sockets and the sabre saw came from the flea market. Rest was a cool yard sale/Estate sale. The guy was a CAT mechanic. Lots of awesome stuff. If my boys didn't want to hurry up and go I could have been there all day looking. Here is the goods.
Proto Screwdrivers
More Proto
Some Plvmb Goodness
Then there was this interesting wrench. Not a bad job the person did.
Some New Britain, Blue Point, Herbrand and Bonney
Indestro, and not sure what brand on the impacts. Also this cool drill stand
Some Craftsman
Powr Kraft Sabre Saw
Williams
Now for some Snap-On
Yes a yellow and orange one.
And this Craftsman box
Ok so here is the good part all this for $41
One question I have is what are these?

Nice cabinet! It'd be hard to pass that up for that price.

I failed to post my favorite find from the Saturday estate sale. A primitive box with a full set of letter stamps. Pretty old I'm guessing. This estate sale was the best I have ever seen. The guy had a carport with attached 25 x 15 woodshop and a two story barn in back FILLED with blacksmith tools an anvil, etc. I missed the big stuff as my no. was 44, but got plenty of small tools like this. I think these are for stamping leather, but would love to hear your 2 cents worth . . .

Hemlock,
That spring loaded item is not a nail set. It is a spring loaded center punch used for marking holes when you are hanging doors and door hardware and anything else where you want to mark the exact center of a round hole. It is made by Stanley. Use it many times for putting hinges onto a door. You put the hinge on the door, put the marker into the screw hole and tap the end. Perfect mark where you drill to put the screw in. No offset screws that way.
Enjoy, it is a wonderful tool for that use.
Cheers,
JimDon

Scooby that's a pretty good score, the sockets you're asking about just look like low-profile sockets to me. What size are they?
Mopar-Scooby-Doo
Well-known member
They are not marked with a size. Just a part number and are 3/4 drive.
Cool indeed. I'm fairly certain it is a late 40's box. As for replacement latches. Well you could most certainly find something close, but finding an exact match may be difficult. If all it needs is just a flat spring for tension, that could be pretty easily made and re-riveted back on. It's not extremely critical, just helps to keep the latches over the hump.

The tensioner on that sander looks like my Craftsman but the base is different.
Cool belt driver grinder!
Hi Nine I am safely back in Shreveport!
I think that is a 1938ish Craftsman 103.08011 4" x 36" sander

It IS a 103.08011 4x36 belt/disk sander, or one of it's variants. It would have been either Craftsman or Dunlap branded. I've seen the same model number under both labels. Yours is missing the 8" disk sander for the side, and the table/shelf for the belt (pic 3). Otherwise it is in good shape and usable.
I LOVE mine !
Set it up with a 2" pulley on both the motor and belt arbor, and run a 1725-1750 rpm 1/3hp motor on it.
Nine - I believe it is the same as yours, but looks different because the belt is set up vertical instead of horizontal.
Here are pictures of mine. I still haven't found a copy of the manual yet.
